BARNES, HARRY ELMER - The Struggle Against the Historical Blackout

USA: Harry Elmer Barnes, 1950. Fifth Revised and Enlarged Edition. Paperback. "One of the more notable contrasts in the intellectual atmosphere of today, as compared with that which followed the first World War, is the far greater opposition to the dissemination of truth with respect to the causes of the second World War. Today, it is next to impossible to get any leading publishing house or any serious newspaper or periodical to print anything which upsets the conventional fictions about the responsibility for the coming of war in September, 1939, and for our entry in December, 1941." - page 3. Barnes proceeds to elaborate on this theme. According to his 1968 biography by Goddard, Barnes [1889-1968] was characterized over the years as 'the last of the universal scholars' and 'the grand monarch of the anti-liars of the twentieth century'. He "published more than 30 books, 100 essays, and 600 articles and book reviews, many for the Council on Foreign Relations journal Foreign Affairs, where he served as Bibliographical Editor." - Wikipedia. Stapled booklet consisting of 24 pages of densely packed text. Undated but appears to be circa 1950. Faint ink stamp atop front cover reads "With the Compliments of the Author". No other markings. Average wear. ; 8vo. Good .
